technically fun cards are $54 this year, more than last year. they are on sale on the site for $49 though
Christmas Town 2018

That is a distinction without a difference, in my opinion.
$5 is not a large increase in price. More importantly, the fact that they are available now for last year’s price is still a problem, when they relied so heavily on CT to market their new Memberships.

Exactly, they stated numerous times on many platforms that prices would be significantky higher than previous seasons. Guests took them in good faith that they were telling us the truth and that unless we wanted to pay much more that our best option was to upgrade. Even though they never said fun cards would not be offered I personally took it as such, that was probably my mistake but no matter how you state it now I feel betrayed by the park in my decision process for upgrading.
Has anyone else noticed the decorations popping up for Christmas town. You can see huge swans on the hillside of the tracks in the vault line as well as some globes on the sides of the track when you look to the side in the France train crossing towards lochness
Some of the "12 Days of Christmas" trees were visible in the Royal Palace seating area.
MYbe they meant that they’ll keep the price the same, but put a 20 dollar tax on top of that.
I noticed that this past weekend as well. They have also draped the lights over Pompeii already, as of this past Saturday (10/20).
I'm sure the park is just bursting with excitement for the new attraction.
Seems like the calendar is EXPLODING a bit with new dates. Starting on November 17th and ending on January 5th? Sounds like Busch is trying to corner that pre- and post-KD WinterFest crowd.
Also, how many lights has Busch had in the past? They say they’re expanding their count to 10 million, but the last time I attended was in 2015 and I remember the number was smaller than that. Was it 8 million before? The new Christmas Town Express has 2 million lights, but have they had smaller events with the train before?

I can't give a specific reason, but I am so excited for Christmas Town this year. I think I'm done with spooky season. Bring on hot cocoa, twinkly lights and magical music!
They've marketed the last few years as having 8M lights. So yes the increase will be 2M with the thought that it will be for the train.
There have always been decorations along the tracks and the train itself has had lights and a special soundtrack with elves and carols. It appears that they have (finally) expanded the CT train attraction. It has never been really impressive (in my opinion) in the past.

What day is it? It might be fun to try and get a group meetup if people are interested and going.
